The Erasmus+ Committee of the Institut Dertosa proudly joins forces with the Tortosa Irish English Festival, contributing to three remarkable cultural activities in the coming days. This collaboration highlights the commitment to fostering education and international culture.

On Wednesday, March 13, at 7:30 PM, the auditorium of the Institut Dertosa will host the presentation of all Erasmus+ projects currently being carried out at the school. The event will feature the participation of teachers, students, and families involved, aiming to showcase and share the enriching experiences of these European projects that promote cultural and educational exchange.

On Saturday, March 16, at 10:00 AM, the Mocafè bar will be the venue for the presentation of the English novel The Tale of Two Lives by local author Emigdi Subirats. This event provides an opportunity to discover the work of this talented writer, deeply rooted in the region, and encourages literature enthusiasts to engage with the English language.

Finally, on Sunday, March 17, at 10:00 AM, the Literary Route Sweet Rumble of Water in Memory (translated from Gerard Vergés’ verse Dolça remor de l’aigua en el record) will take place. Designed by Professor Emigdi Subirats, this route pays tribute to English-speaking authors connected in some way to Tortosa, such as Ernest Hemingway, Martin Luther King, or the Brontë sisters. Through six key spots in the Teodor González Municipal Park, participants will explore the literary connections between these influential figures and the city.

With these activities, the Erasmus+ Committee reinforces its dedication to cultural exchange, educational innovation, and the promotion of literature and international awareness. We encourage everyone to join and enjoy these special events!

Today, the 2nd Year sixth form students at Institut Dertosa had the pleasure of welcoming Alba Ramos and Hèctor Rubio, both graduates in video game creation from the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló de la Plana. This educational session provided a rich and insightful experience for our students, who had the opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of video game development.

During the session, Alba and Hèctor shared their academic and professional journey, explaining the details of the video game creation program and their specific training. They spoke about their passion for the world of video games, emphasizing the importance of creativity and the necessity of various disciplines such as music, drawing, design, and color in the development of video games.

In addition to the theoretical part, the guests conducted a practical demonstration, showcasing several video game platforms and presenting their own webpage. This hands-on component was well-received by the students, as it allowed them to see firsthand how the industry operates.

The visit of Alba Ramos and Hèctor Rubio was both motivating and inspiring for the students, who gained valuable insights into the professional opportunities within the video game creation field. This activity aligns with the center’s goals of fostering curiosity and interest among students in various disciplines, as well as providing them with practical and real-world learning opportunities.

We are very grateful to Alba and Hèctor for their visit and look forward to organizing more activities that enrich our students’ educational experience.

We can have a careful look to the good work of the Madeira students

Last Wednesday, February 5th, the students of 2nd year of Baccalaureate E, in the Humanistic and Performing Arts itinerary, had the opportunity to enjoy an online talk with the writer Coia Valls, from Reus. The session took place during the tutorial hour, offering the students a unique experience to get to know one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Catalan literature.

During the talk, Coia Valls spoke about her professional career, beginning with her work as a speech therapist. She then explained her transition to the artistic world, where she has excelled as a rhapsodist and novelist. The students were able to learn about the various facets of this multifaceted author and her passion for literature.

One of the most emotional moments of the session was when Coia Valls recited a poem from El jardí de les delícies by Gerard Vergés, her great literary idol. The students were captivated by her interpretation and her connection with the work of the great Tortosa poet.

Additionally, the students had the opportunity to share their own literary and artistic vocations with the author. They also discussed their research projects (TDR) of a literary nature, exchanging ideas and receiving valuable advice from the novelist.

The talk was an enriching experience for the students, who were able to delve deeper into the world of literature alongside one of the most relevant writers in the current literary scene.

The activity was part of the sTwinning “Writing is Fun” project, aimed at promoting all kinds of literary events.
